The Blunt Body Problem in an Expanding, Nonuniform Flow Field.

Abstract

The method of integral relations has been used to compute the inviscid flow over a blunt body immersed in a nonuniform, expanding flow field. Emphasis has been placed on defining the flow environment experienced by a nose tip model in the exhaust plume of an underexpanded arc jet or rocket engine. Accordingly, the integral method has been formulated for an arbitrary description of a free stream which possesses both axial and radial gradients in Mach No., flow angle, total pressure, and total enthalpy.
